Greetings Everyone,
Thank you for the great sites. I have copied and pasted them all onto to my page so that I may view them easier.
Julie Kenney: Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Great product for sound recording and editing. It has many effects you can use as well.
Google Images http://images.google.com/ Google images has a lot of cool graphics that you can use for free. Sometimes finding the right image can take longer than you would like and then you have to pay for it. Here this amasses many into one place.
Julie Griffin: Youtube www.Youtube.com
I use this for my peers to actually watch how other hospitals do things and can watch inservices, meetings etc. GotoMeetings www.gotomeeting.com

Podcasting for Learning in Universities This website is a goldmine of ideas on how podcasting can be used in higher education.

Jing - I use this for quick screen capturing tutorials to demonstrate various aspects of different software programs as well as tutorials on our LMS - ANGEL. Voice Thread and Viddler - Great tool to use for class introductions, expanded discussions and lecture. I also use it for storytelling practices to enhance the lecture. **__Prezi__** - An alternative to PowerPoint for presentations/lectures. I use this more so as a review tool than to introduce new concepts because I think it can be distracting to certain learners. Audacity - Great for podcasting and adding audio to presentations. iSpring - Easy PowerPoint conversion to flash video Xtranormal.com - A free web-based tool that lets you easily create scripted animations. Its great to use in scenarios where you are teaching something verbal. (See individual page for additional resources)

I used this over the summer to develop small 3-5 min previews of the reading material each week for my micro class. Podomatic was very easy to use; the product was good; and I had fun adding small pertinent images to each podcast icon. Feedback from students has been good; they like a preview of what's coming up in the reading; what are focal points, etc. http://www.wikispaces.com
I have been working with wikispaces lately and trying to develop a wiki project for my environmental science class. I'm working on translating this project into a 'roll-out' for a class of 85 students [divided into smaller groups]. So while wikispaces is very easy to use; I need to look at 'large-scale' development of a project using it [fine-tune the details to avoid mass chaos!]. http://www.grooveshark.com
I use Grooveshark to develop playlists which I use in conjunction with my general toxicology class. I ask students to listen to various selections on my playlists and relate them to concepts we are studying; alternatively, I ask them to compile playlists based around a particular concept. I have not found Grooveshark hard to use; many, many selections from which to choose...lots of fun!
